The crowd was having lunch inside when Nie ChengFeng walked inside. With a big, bright smile, he said, "I came just in time." Mr. Cameraman immediately panned the camera onto him. Other guests around the table all looked up and greeted with smiles before they sat back down and picked up their chopsticks and bowls as though they have just been released from prison and haven't eaten in ages.

Nie ChengFeng's brows twitched. Whatever happened to the big welcome that he was promised? Why didn't he get the proper treatment of a secret guest? Luckily, Li ManGe waved at him from one side and said, "ChengFeng-ge, c'mon over. I've set up your spot over here."

When Nie ChengFeng finally settled in, he asked curiously, "You guys didn't have breakfast?" "We did, but if we don't fight, food would be gone in no time," said Feng Wei as he handed chopsticks and a bowl over to Nie ChengFeng. "Boss Nie, don't be shy when the food comes. We've already gotten used to it in the last few days."

Nie ChengFeng nodded with a mind full of questions. He scanned around and immediately spotted Nie AnAn and Qin ZiYi. Qin ZiYi's eyes had always glued onto him whenever he showed up in the past. Yet, today, she was so busy scooping rice into a bowl that she didn't even notice that he was there. Nie AnAn, on the other hand, was just sitting gracefully to one side. Chen Yanshu, sitting next to her, had already scooped her a bowl of rice and also thanked her.

Nie ChengFeng was still dumbfounded when someone suddenly called out, "Let's start!" Then, to his astonishment, he saw everyone, with the exception of Li ManGe and Nie AnAn, all started grabbing the food on the table and shoving them into their mouths at high speed. Nie ChengFeng, "..." Did he join some sort of eating show by mistake?

Li ManGe, sitting next to him, gave him a gentle reminder, "ChengFeng-ge, don't be shy. If you don't fight for it, they will be gone in no time." Nie ChengFeng nodded before he picked up a piece of black pepper beef and put it into his mouth. His look froze for a while then. After he had finished swallowing the piece of beef in disbelief, he asked immediately, "Who made this? Why was it so tasty?"

"It's AnAn," said Zhang ZhouYu from the other side. "AnAn is the nutritionist of our inn. Look at how busy our inn is, Mr. Nie. That's all because of AnAn's cooking." Nie ChengFeng glanced over at the nice little girl sitting across from him. He had done some research. Others might not associate her with Huo YanXiao's sister, but he knew that she was just that girl with her tattoos removed. Did that mean that Huo YanXiao has food of this caliber at home every day?

Nie ChengFeng suddenly felt a pang of envy. Then, immediately after that, he had no more time to think about anything else. Everybody was right, if he didn't act now, there would be nothing left. Finally, after lunch was over, everybody plopped back in their chairs and rubbed their fully extended stomachs.

Chen YanShu measured her own waist and sighed that she could not eat any more during the next meal. If she ate any more, she wouldn't be able to film her next martial art show. Feng Wei shared that his fan had already said that if he gained any more weight, he would no longer be their manga-face idol.

Nie AnAn smiled and said that she'd make a weight-loss meal next. No matter how they eat, they wouldn't gain a pound. All of a sudden, all their eyes beamed and all the decisions went out the window. It was Li ManGe's turn to do the dishes today. She stood up and walked into the kitchen with Nie ChengFeng following her.

"ZiMing came here with me today. He wanted to come over and say hi, but it was so crowded over here that he wasn't able to get in," said Nie ChengFeng. Li ManGe nodded. "Yeah, I know. This is all because AnAn's cooking is too popular. Our inn had been crowded like that every day for a while now." Nie ChengFeng asked, "You don't remember AnAn?" He remembered clearly that back when Nie AnAn was pursuing Qin ZiMing, the two girls had met a few times and there seemed to have some unpleasant exchanges between the two.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Li ManGe dubiously. Nie ChengFeng could tell that she really wasn't faking it, smiled, and said, "Nothing. I must have been mistaken." After he had left, Li ManGe had given this more thought. Immediately, she recalled Qin ZiYi saying something about Huo YanXiao bringing a date with him to the last banquet.

She remembered Nie AnAn, Huo YanXiao's sister, who had gone above and beyond in pursuing her boyfriend in the past. And now there was another Nie AnAn, who were also somehow related to Huo YanXiao? Did that mean the two AnAn's could be the same person?

Li ManGe finished the dishes and went to look for Qin ZiYi. She asked Qin ZiYi to go to the accounting office with her, using going over the accounting books as an excuse. She closed the door behind them and asked right away, "Xiao Yi, what is the relationship between our cast member Nie AnAn and Huo YanXiao?"

"She said she's Xiao-gege's sister," said Qin ZiYi with a look of admiration. Li ManGe frowned slightly and said, "Since when were you so familiar with that Huo YanXiao?" "Oh, I will be, soon," said Qin ZiYi as she looked into the future. "As soon as the show is over, I'll go over and have dinner at their house. We will be familiar with each other after a few times."

Li ManGe picked up on the most important point. "So, the AnAn in our cast and Nie AnAn, Huo YanXiao's sister, are the same person." "Eh? No way!" said Qin ZiYi with a face full of disbelief. "How could she be the same person as that violent girl Nie AnAn? It must just be a coincidence. Perhaps all of Xiao-gege's sisters go by the name of 'AnAn'?"

Seeing the naïve look on Qin ZiYi, Li ManGe knew that she wouldn't be able to get any more out of her and started looking over the accounting books. As the secret guest had arrived today, there were plenty of interactive activities planned for the day. Nie AnAn, on the other hand, didn't care about that as she was getting a little tired.

The business at the inn was too good and she couldn't keep up with the orders. As efficient as she was, she was undeniably starting to get tired. After lunch, she went back to her guest room and took a nap. What Nie AnAn didn't know was that while she was napping, news had already appeared on the internet.

[Gold Medal Inn's nutritionist Nie AnAn's real identity exposed! AnAn is Nie AnAn. See pictures before and after her tattoos were removed. And all the stories back when she was pursuing the young master of the Qin's.] In WeChat, after an entire night, subjects on Nie AnAn quickly made the top search list. Almost 4 out of 5 of the top 20 searches were about her.

A few of the most followed WeChat users had further exposed Nie AnAn's pictures with her tattoos - her devil's marking tattoos and the black vulture on her face - and the way she dressed that could hurt one's eyes from looking at it for too long. The scariest of all was her going over to the Qin's headquarters to wait for Qin ZiMing in that outfit. That was simply horrifying.

Some others even posted pictures of the day that Nie AnAn went to have her tattoos removed. In the picture, the girl's face was slightly pink but she has already turned into a quiet and cute girl. Plus, with video clips of the day when Nie AnAn and Cucumber went over to the scene of Young Master Chen's suicide, the physical evidence was complete.

Now that everybody had found out that Qin ZiMing was one of the secret guests on "Gold Medal Inn", the crowd had further found the reason of Nie AnAn being on the show. She went all the way there to pursue Qin ZiMing! But, she must have hired an entire team of think tanks! How else could she have changed so drastically in such a short period of time?

As the cast members were not allowed to have their cellphones with them, none of them knew about this newest development. The only ones that were aware of this were the director and crew members of the production as well as the two secret guests who still have their cellphones.

Qin ZiMing saw all the postings on the internet and. Looking back at how he gave Nie AnAn a few extra looks than usual because of her cooking, he felt an indescribably ill feeling about himself. Today was the last filming day of the show, and everybody flew back to Capital City that afternoon. As Nie AnAn walked through the pathway into the lobby, she was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of reporters.
